Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising candidates for room-temperature hydrogen storage materials after modification, thanks to their ability to chemisorb hydrogen. However, the hydrogen adsorption strength of these modified MOFs remains insufficient to meet the capacity and safety requirements of hydrogen storage systems. To address this challenge, a highly defective framework material known as de-MgMOF is prepared by gently annealing Mg-MOF-74. This material retains some of the crystal properties of the original Mg-MOF-74 and exhibits exceptional hydrogen storage capacity at above-ambient temperatures. The MgO5 knots around linker vacancies in de-MgMOF can adsorb a significant amount of dissociated and nondissociated hydrogen, with adsorption enthalpies ranging from -22.7 to -43.6 kJ mol-1, indicating a strong chemisorption interaction. By leveraging a spillover catalyst of Pt, the material achieves a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of 2.55 wt.% at 160 °C and 81 bar. Additionally, this material offers rapid hydrogen uptake/release, stable cycling, and convenient storage capabilities. A comprehensive techno-economic analysis demonstrates that this material outperforms many other hydrogen storage materials at the system level for on-board applications.

Abstract
The L2,3-edge X-ray absorption spectra of late transition metals such as Cu, Ag, and Au exhibit absorption onsets lower in energy for higher oxidation states, which is at odds with the measured spectra of earlier transition metals. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations for Cu2+/Cu+ reveal a larger 2p core-exciton binding energy for Cu2+, overshadowing shifts in single-particle excitation energies with respect to Cu+. We explore this phenomenon in a Cu+ metal-organic framework with ∼12% Cu2+ defects and find that corrections with self-consistent excited-state total energy differences provide accurate XAS peak alignment.

Abstract
Efficiently capturing radioactive methyl iodide (CH3I), present at low concentrations in the high-temperature off-gas of nuclear facilities, poses a significant challenge. Here we present two strategies for CH3I adsorption at elevated temperatures using a unified azolate-based metal-organic framework, MFU-4l. The primary strategy leverages counter anions in MFU-4l as nucleophiles, engaging in metathesis reactions with CH3I. The results uncover a direct positive correlation between CH3I breakthrough uptakes and the nucleophilicity of the counter anions. Notably, the optimal variant featuring SCN- as the counter anion achieves a CH3I capacity of 0.41 g g-1 at 150 °C under 0.01 bar, surpassing all previously reported adsorbents evaluated under identical conditions. Moreover, this capacity can be easily restored through ion exchange. The secondary strategy incorporates coordinatively unsaturated Cu(I) sites into MFU-4l, enabling non-dissociative chemisorption for CH3I at 150 °C. This modified adsorbent outperforms traditional materials and can be regenerated with polar organic solvents. Beyond achieving a high CH3I adsorption capacity, our study offers profound insights into CH3I capture strategies viable for practically relevant high-temperature scenarios.

Abstract
A detailed chemical understanding of H2 interactions with binding sites in the nanoporous crystalline structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can lay a sound basis for the design of new sorbent materials. Computational quantum chemical calculations can aid in this quest. To set the stage, we review general thermodynamic considerations that control the usable storage capacity of a sorbent. We then discuss cluster modeling of H2 ligation at MOF binding sites using state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and how the binding can be understood using energy decomposition analysis (EDA). Employing these tools, we illustrate the connections between the character of the MOF binding site and the associated adsorption thermodynamics using four experimentally characterized MOFs, highlighting the role of open metal sites (OMSs) in accessing binding strengths relevant to room temperature storage. The sorbents are MOF-5, with no open metal sites, Ni2(m-dobdc), containing Lewis acidic Ni(II) sites, Cu(I)-MFU-4l, containing π basic Cu(I) sites and V2Cl2.8(btdd), also containing π-basic V(II) sites. We next explore the potential for binding multiple H2 molecules at a single metal site, with thermodynamics useful for storage at ambient temperature; a materials design goal which has not yet been experimentally demonstrated. Computations on Ca2+ or Mg2+ bound to catecholate or Ca2+ bound to porphyrin show the potential for binding up to 4 H2; there is precedent for the inclusion of both catecholate and porphyrin motifs in MOFs. Turning to transition metals, we discuss the prediction that two H2 molecules can bind at V(II)-MFU-4l, a material that has been synthesized with solvent coordinated to the V(II) site. Additional calculations demonstrate binding three equivalents of hydrogen per OMS in Sc(I) or Ti(I)-exchanged MFU-4l. Overall, the results suggest promising prospects for experimentally realizing higher capacity hydrogen storage MOFs, if nontrivial synthetic and desolvation challenges can be overcome. Coupled with the unbounded chemical diversity of MOFs, there is ample scope for additional exploration and discovery.

Abstract
One such technology is hydrogen-based which utilizes hydrogen to generate energy without emission of greenhouse gases. The advantage of such technology is the fact that the only by-product is water. Efficient storage is crucial for the practical application of hydrogen. There are several techniques to store hydrogen, each with certain advantages and disadvantages. In gaseous hydrogen storage, hydrogen gas is compressed and stored at high pressures, requiring robust and expensive pressure vessels. In liquid hydrogen storage, hydrogen is cooled to extremely low temperatures and stored as a liquid, which is energy-intensive. Researchers are exploring advanced materials for hydrogen storage, including metal hydrides, carbon-based materials, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and nanomaterials. These materials aim to enhance storage capacity, kinetics, and safety. The hydrogen economy envisions hydrogen as a clean energy carrier, utilized in various sectors like transportation, industry, and power generation. It can contribute to decarbonizing sectors that are challenging to electrify directly. Hydrogen can play a role in a circular economy by facilitating energy storage, supporting intermittent renewable sources, and enabling the production of synthetic fuels and chemicals. The circular economy concept promotes the recycling and reuse of materials, aligning with sustainable development goals. Hydrogen availability depends on the method of production. While it is abundant in nature, obtaining it in a clean and sustainable manner is crucial. The efficiency of hydrogen production and utilization varies among methods, with electrolysis being a cleaner but less efficient process compared to other conventional methods. Chemisorption and physisorption methods aim to enhance storage capacity and control the release of hydrogen. There are various viable options that are being explored to solve these challenges, with one option being the use of a multilayer film of advanced metals. This work provides an overview of hydrogen economy as a green and sustainable energy system for the foreseeable future, hydrogen production methods, hydrogen storage systems and mechanisms including their advantages and disadvantages, and the promising storage system for the future. In summary, hydrogen holds great promise as a clean energy carrier, and ongoing research and technological advancements are addressing challenges related to production, storage, and utilization, bringing us closer to a sustainable hydrogen economy.

Abstract
High or enriched-purity O2 is used in numerous industries and is predominantly produced from the cryogenic distillation of air, an extremely capital- and energy-intensive process. There is significant interest in the development of new approaches for O2-selective air separations, including the use of metal-organic frameworks featuring coordinatively unsaturated metal sites that can selectively bind O2 over N2 via electron transfer. However, most of these materials exhibit appreciable and/or reversible O2 uptake only at low temperatures, and their open metal sites are also potential strong binding sites for the water present in air. Here, we study the framework CuI-MFU-4l (CuxZn5-xCl4-x(btdd)3; H2btdd = bis(1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b],[4',5'-i])dibenzo[1,4]dioxin), which binds O2 reversibly at ambient temperature. We develop an optimized synthesis for the material to access a high density of trigonal pyramidal CuI sites, and we show that this material reversibly captures O2 from air at 25 °C, even in the presence of water. When exposed to air up to 100% relative humidity, CuI-MFU-4l retains a constant O2 capacity over the course of repeated cycling under dynamic breakthrough conditions. While this material simultaneously adsorbs N2, differences in O2 and N2 desorption kinetics allow for the isolation of high-purity O2 (>99%) under relatively mild regeneration conditions. Spectroscopic, magnetic, and computational analyses reveal that O2 binds to the copper(I) sites to form copper(II)-superoxide moieties that exhibit temperature-dependent side-on and end-on binding modes. Overall, these results suggest that CuI-MFU-4l is a promising material for the separation of O2 from ambient air, even without dehumidification.

Abstract
Non-dissociative chemisorption solid-state storage of hydrogen molecules in host materials is promising to achieve both high hydrogen capacity and uptake rate, but there is the lack of non-dissociative hydrogen storage theories that can guide the rational design of the materials. Herein, we establish generalized design principle to design such materials via the first-principles calculations, theoretical analysis and focused experimental verifications of a series of heteroatom-doped-graphene-supported Ca single-atom carbon nanomaterials as efficient non-dissociative solid-state hydrogen storage materials. An intrinsic descriptor has been proposed to correlate the inherent properties of dopants with the hydrogen storage capability of the carbon-based host materials. The generalized design principle and the intrinsic descriptor have the predictive ability to screen out the best dual-doped-graphene-supported Ca single-atom hydrogen storage materials. The dual-doped materials have much higher hydrogen storage capability than the sole-doped ones, and exceed the current best carbon-based hydrogen storage materials.

Abstract
The development of novel materials capable of securely storing hydrogen at high volumetric and gravimetric densities is a requirement for the wide-scale usage of hydrogen as an energy carrier. In recent years, great efforts via nanoscale tuning and designing strategies on both physisorbents and chemisorbents have been devoted to improvements in their thermodynamic and kinetic aspects. Increasing the hydrogen storage capacity/density for physisorbents and chemisorbents and improving the dehydrogenation kinetics of hydrides are still considered a challenge. The extensive and fast development of advanced nanotechnologies has fueled a surge in research that presents huge potential in designing solid-state materials to meet the ultimate U.S. Department of Energy capacity targets for onboard light-duty vehicles, material-handling equipments, and portable power applications. Different from the existing literature, in this review, particular attention is paid to the recent advances in nanoscale engineering of solid-state materials for boosting hydrogen storage, especially the nanoscale tuning and designing strategies. We first present a short overview of hydrogen storage mechanisms of nanoscale engineering for boosted hydrogen storage performance on solid-state materials, for example, hydrogen spillover, nanopump effect, nanosize effect, nanocatalysis, and other non-classical hydrogen storage mechanisms. Then, the focus is on recent advancements in nanoscale engineering strategies aimed at enhancing the gravimetric hydrogen storage capacity of porous materials, reducing dehydrogenation temperature and improving reaction kinetics and reversibility of hydrogen desorption/absorption for metal hydrides. Effective nanoscale tuning strategies for enhancing the hydrogen storage performance of porous materials include optimizing surface area and pore volume, fine-tuning nanopore sizes, introducing nanostructure doping, and crafting nanoarchitecture and nanohybrid materials. For metal hydrides, successful strategies involve nanoconfinement, nanosizing, and the incorporation of nanocatalysts. This review further addresses the points to future research directions in the hope of ushering in the practical applications of hydrogen storage materials.

Abstract
Long-duration storage of hydrogen is necessary for coupling renewable H2 with stationary fuel cell power applications. In this work, aluminum formate (ALF), which adopts the ReO3-type structure, is shown to have remarkable H2 storage performance at non-cryogenic (>120 K) temperatures and low pressures. The most promising performance of ALF is found between 120 K and 160 K and at 10 bar to 20 bar. The study illustrates H2 adsorption performance of ALF over the 77 K to 296 K temperature range using gas isotherms, in situ neutron powder diffraction, and DFT calculations, as well as technoeconomic analysis (TEA), illustrating ALF's competitive performance for long-duration storage versus compressed hydrogen and leading metal-organic frameworks. In the TEA, it is shown that ALF's storage capacity, when combined with a temperature/pressure swing process, has advantages versus compressed H2 at a fraction of the pressure (15 bar versus 350 bar). Given ALF's performance in the 10 bar to 20 bar regime under moderate cooling, it is particularly promising for use in safe storage systems serving fuel cells.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that contain open metal sites have the potential for storing hydrogen (H2) at ambient temperatures. In particular, Cu(I)-based MOFs demonstrate very high isosteric heats of adsorption for hydrogen relative to other reported MOFs with open metal sites. However, most of these Cu(I)-based MOFs are not stable in ambient conditions since the Cu(I) species display sensitivity toward moisture and can rapidly oxidize in air. As a result, researchers have focused on the synthesis of new air-stable Cu(I)-based materials for H2 storage. Here, we have developed a de novo synthetic strategy to generate a robust Cu(I)-based MOF, denoted as NU-2100, using a mixture of Cu/Zn precursors in which zinc acts as a catalyst to transform an intermediate MOF into NU-2100 without getting incorporated into the final MOF structure. NU-2100 is air-stable and displays one of the initial highest isosteric heats of adsorption (32 kJ/mol) with good hydrogen storage capability under ambient conditions (10.4 g/L, 233 K/100 bar to 296 K/5 bar). We further elucidated the H2 storage performance of NU-2100 using a combination of spectroscopic analysis and computational modeling studies. Overall, this new synthetic route may enable the design of additional stable Cu(I)-MOFs for next-generation hydrogen storage adsorbents at ambient temperatures.

Abstract
Functional porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been explored for a number of potential applications in catalysis, chemical sensing, water capture, gas storage, and separation. MOFs are among the most promising candidates to address challenges facing our society related to energy and environment, but the successful implementation of functional porous MOF materials are contingent on their stability; therefore, the rational design of stable MOFs plays an important role towards the development of functional porous MOFs. In this Focus article, we summarize progress in the rational design and synthesis of stable MOFs with controllable pores and functionalities. The implementation of reticular chemistry allows for the rational top-down design of stable porous MOFs with targeted topological networks and pore structures from the pre-selected building blocks. We highlight the reticular synthesis and applications of stable MOFs: (1) MOFs based on high valent metal ions (e.g., Al3+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Ti4+ and Zr4+) and carboxylate ligands; (2) MOFs based on low valent metal ions (e.g., Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) and azolate linkers. We envision that the synthetic strategies, including modulated synthesis and post-synthetic modification, can potentially be extended to other more complex systems like metal-phosphonate framework materials.

Abstract
Solvent exchange of synthesis solvent within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an essential process for the activation of coordinatively unsaturated sites (CUS) to achieve an optimal surface area; activation of the CUS is required to exploit the versatile applications of MOFs. However, it is challenging to replace CUS-bound synthesis solvent prior to MOF activation, which can lead to a structural collapse and reduced surface area post-evacuation. Herein, we quantify the exchange behavior of a copper paddlewheel-based CUS-MOF (HKUST-1) in the presence of three different solvents: ethanol (EtOH), dichloromethane (DCM), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The DMF release profiles are monitored via in situ observation of the exchange solvent composition via 1H NMR and Raman spectroscopy at the macroscopic scale. Furthermore, the change in solvent within a single crystal is measured to directly elucidate the exchange behavior. We demonstrate the DMF release profile from HKUST-1 exhibits different rate laws depending on whether the solvent exchange occurs at the CUS or is purely diffusive through the pores. This contribution represents the first characterization of release from a CUS-MOF as a function exchange solvent and reveals that solvent exchange in a CUS-MOF is not diffusion-limited, but rather is limited by the solvent exchange kinetics at the metal center. Insights from this study can be generalized to the variety of copper-paddlewheel-based MOFs, informing best practices for solvent exchange.

Abstract
Hollow materials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged in the biomedical field due to their unique properties, and different synthesis methods have been proposed. However, so far, the large-scale use of hollow MOFs is mostly limited by the timeliness of synthesis methods. Herein, we propose a new ultrasonic aerosol flow strategy for the instantaneous synthesis of a Zr-MOF-derived hollow sphere complex (ZC-HSC) in only one step. Through rapid transient heating, the coordination between metal salts and organic ligands occurs along with prompt evaporation of the solvent. The whole process lasts for only about 21 s, compared with several steps that take hours or even days for conventional synthesis methods. Based on the ZC-HSC, we designed a nanodrug with the functions of manipulating the tumor microenvironment, which can reshape the tumor microenvironment by improving tumor hypoxia and inflammatory microenvironment and promoting antiangiogenic therapy. Combined with microwave thermo-chemotherapy, the nanodrugs effectively treat triple-negative breast cancer (the tumor cell survival rate was only 34.76 and 31.05% in normoxic and hypoxic states, respectively, and the tumor inhibition rate reached 87.9% at the animal level), providing a new theoretical basis for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. This rapid, one-step, and continuous ultrasonic aerosol flow strategy has bright prospects in the synthesis of MOF-derived hollow materials and promotes the further development of large-scale applications of biological nanomaterials.

Abstract
Materials that are capable of adsorbing and desorbing gases near ambient conditions are highly sought after for many applications in gas storage and separations. While the physisorption of typical gases to high surface area covalent organic frameworks (COFs) occurs through relatively weak intermolecular forces, the tunability of framework materials makes them promising candidates for tailoring gas sorption enthalpies. The incorporation of open Cu(I) sites into framework materials is a proven strategy to increase gas uptake closer to ambient conditions for gases that are capable of π-back-bonding with Cu. Here, we report the synthesis of a Cu(I)-loaded COF with subnanometer pores and a three-dimensional network morphology, namely Cu(I)-COF-301. This study focused on the sorption mechanisms of hydrogen, ethylene, and carbon monoxide with this material under ultrahigh vacuum using temperature-programmed desorption and Kissinger analyses of variable ramp rate measurements. All three gases desorb near or above room temperature under these conditions, with activation energies of desorption (E des) calculated as approximately 29, 57, and 68 kJ/mol, for hydrogen, ethylene, and carbon monoxide, respectively. Despite these strong Cu(I)-gas interactions, this work demonstrated the ability to desorb each gas on-demand below its normal desorption temperature upon irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) light. While thermal imaging experiments indicate that bulk photothermal heating of the COF accounts for some of the photodriven desorption, density functional theory calculations reveal that binding enthalpies are systematically lowered in the COF-hydrogen matrix excited state initiated by UV irradiation, further contributing to gas desorption. This work represents a step toward the development of more practical ambient temperature storage and efficient regeneration of sorbents for applications with hydrogen and π-accepting gases through the use of external photostimuli.

Abstract
We are currently witnessing the dawn of hydrogen (H2) economy, where H2 will soon become a primary fuel for heating, transportation, and long-distance and long-term energy storage. Among diverse possibilities, H2 can be stored as a pressurized gas, a cryogenic liquid, or a solid fuel via adsorption onto porous materials. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as adsorbent materials with the highest theoretical H2 storage densities on both a volumetric and gravimetric basis. However, a critical bottleneck for the use of H2 as a transportation fuel has been the lack of densification methods capable of shaping MOFs into practical formulations while maintaining their adsorptive performance. Here, we report a high-throughput screening and deep analysis of a database of MOFs to find optimal materials, followed by the synthesis, characterization, and performance evaluation of an optimal monolithic MOF (monoMOF) for H2 storage. After densification, this monoMOF stores 46 g L-1 H2 at 50 bar and 77 K and delivers 41 and 42 g L-1 H2 at operating pressures of 25 and 50 bar, respectively, when deployed in a combined temperature-pressure (25-50 bar/77 K → 5 bar/160 K) swing gas delivery system. This performance represents up to an 80% reduction in the operating pressure requirements for delivering H2 gas when compared with benchmark materials and an 83% reduction compared to compressed H2 gas. Our findings represent a substantial step forward in the application of high-density materials for volumetric H2 storage applications.

Abstract
The need for sustainable energy sources is now more urgent than ever, and hydrogen is significant in the future of energy. However, several obstacles remain in the way of widespread hydrogen use, most of which are related to transport and storage. Dilute formic acid (FA) is recognized asa a safe fuel for low-temperature fuel cells. This review examines FA as a potential hydrogen storage molecule that can be dehydrogenated to yield highly pure hydrogen (H2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with very little carbon monoxide (CO) gas produced via nanoheterogeneous catalysts. It also present the use of Au and Pd as nanoheterogeneous catalysts for formic acid liquid phase decomposition, focusing on the influence of noble metals in monometallic, bimetallic, and trimetallic compositions on the catalytic dehydrogenation of FA under mild temperatures (20–50 °C). The review shows that FA production from CO2 without a base by direct catalytic carbon dioxide hydrogenation is far more sustainable than existing techniques. Finally, using FA as an energy carrier to selectively release hydrogen for fuel cell power generation appears to be a potential technique.
